The game that brought third party developer Rare (previously 'Ultimate Play the game', currently 'Rareware'!) into the limelight. Using unique rendering techniques, at a time when all the hype was about the next generation consoles, DKC had a visual quality that still looks outstanding today. Compared at the time to Mario World, the fluidity of gameplay and intuitive control mechanism ensured that this title would find a place in gamers' hearts all over the world. And it did. With 30+ levels of glorious visual and audio genius, you'd be hard pressed to find a finer 16 bit platformer, making this another highly recommended title!
